Post subject:  Episode 4 SPOILERS!

Thanks to Spoiled Rotten

The casting sides were released for the fourth episode of Tru Calling - "Past Tense". Here's a rundown of the details:
Five bodies arrive at the morgue - all guys at a bachelor party at a hotel. They've been poisoned.

At Meredith's office, one of her bosses comes in to tell her the law firm is instituting random drug testing. She's nervous, since she has been using.

The day repeats.

Tru starts investigating the 5 men. They were at a bachelor party at the Hotel Piermont for John Brockett, but she doesn't know their names. She doesn't even know if John was one of the victims or not.

Tru warns Meredith about the drug testing and tells her to make sure she's staying clean.

Tru tries to get John to cancel his bachelor's party at the hotel. He thinks his finance, Robin Wilson, sent Tru to ruin their fun. John tells Tru that his finance doesn't like John's friends, who are all his old college buddies.

Tru tells him she's with the hotel and starts asking questions. John is suspicious. Tru tries to tell them the room they have reserved has water damage, but John is adamant about having his bachelor party at the hotel.

Tru has to find another plan. At the morgue, she asks Davis about the drug Avocardyl, claiming she's studying for her med school entrance exams. The drug is a poison found in common chemical products, that water soluble and odorless. Tru asks if it can be detected if someone has been slipped this poison. Davis tells her it can, picking up on Tru accidentally saying "victim".

As with all bachelor parties, there's a stripper. Tru tries to make sure the stripper who's supposed to be at John's party (Tara) is elsewhere and tries to hire her. But that doesn't work.

Tru gets into the hotel suite, pretending to be bartender (but she has no clue how to mix drinks). She's gotten rid of the alcohol that was there and replaced it, in case it was poisoned. There's 6 guys at the party (5 of whom end up dead). The best man, Ethan, arrives late.

Tru continues to serve drinks, as she observes all of the potential suspects/victims at the party, eavesdropping as they discuss their issues. One of the guys, Blake, starts getting suspicious of Tru being there.

But then the stripper, Tara, comes in. There's an awkward exchange between Tara and Tru in the bathroom.

Meanwhile, Harrison is investigating John's finance, Robin, who works at a clothing store. He flirts with another clerk and finds out where Robin has gone.

Back at the party, Ethan doesn't look too good. Tru offers him a drink and finds out he's a recovering alcoholic. She knows that Ethan is one of the guys who dies. He didn't have any alcohol in his system, but did have the poison.

Tru keeps track of the suspects on a napkin, crossing off their descriptions as she eliminates them. She starts to suspect maybe the club soda is poisoned, since Ethan only was drinking that. She calls Davis on her cellphone, asking him if the carbonation in the club soda might speed up the affect of the poison.

Tru goes out on the balcony and chats up Ethan about John, trying to find out any of his "issues". They're interrupted by Blake, who wants Ethan to go back in for a lap dance.

Meanwhile at Meredith's office, she's mildly surprised when Tru's warning comes true and she does have to undergo a random drug test.

Tru intercepts Ethan at the bathroom and starts prodding as to why Blake interrupted them and what exactly is the big secret that happened to the guys in college. She gets him to crack and reveal that something happened to a girl.

They're interrupted again, and Tru sees that Blake is missing from the party. She goes to look for him and he corners her in the hallway, pulling the napkin out of her pocket. Blake checked with the hotel and found out they hadn't sent a bartender. Tru claims she's a journalist working on a story, but then there's a scream from the room. The stripper, Tara, is completely freaked out and telling them to keep their hands off of her.

Blake threatens to call security and Tru has to leave.

Tru goes back to the morgue and gets yelled at by Davis. He knows she hasn't been studying for her med school acceptance tests and isn't be honest with him. Tru wants to explain what's going on, but there isn't time.

Tru heads back to the hotel. She tells Blake she thinks one of the guys is willing to do anything to cover up what happened in college. Blake totally flips out, questioning her told her. Just then Harrison calls Tru and tells her that he's found Robin. There is no wedding. It was called off months before.

She realizes the murderer isn't Blake. It has to be whoever planned the bachelor party. She theorizes that John killed the girl and is trying to cover it up. She gets Blake to help her stop John. Tru and John go into the hotel room and confront John and the others, telling them the wedding has been called off and that they need to deal with what happened.

John goes off into another hotel room, Tru follows and continues to confront him about what's happened. She notices his drink doesn't have ice in it and realizes the poison was in the ice. She tells him she put crushed ice in all the drinks, so if he did poison it, he'll need the antidote. John goes pale.

The police are called and John is lead out of the hotel in handcuffs.

Blake explains that he wrote to John several weeks ago and said he was going to go to the police because of the guilt (but didn't sign the letter). She tells Tru about what happened to the girl (she split her head open on glass coffee table while John was attempting to assault her).

Tru goes back to the morgue and talks to Gardez.

There's still no sign of Luc (who was cast earlier this month. He's played by Matthew Bomer, from the soap Guiding Light). It's possible that Bomer still has to complete filming for Guilding Light before he can work on Tru Calling.
